A prolific creator, interested as much in industrial production as in craft, Gio Ponti (1891-1979) has been a major figure of post-war architecture and opened the perspectives of a new art de vivre. This book, both an exhibition catalogue and the first reference book in French on Gio Ponti, covers his whole career, from the 1920s to the end of the 1970s. Private, public and religious architecture, furniture, lighting, glass, ceramic, silversmiths, fabrics...: all the media in which he applied his talent are discussed.
